Live blogging about Ben on Blackstone VI

by kai 08/09/2004

– Multiple Instances: For most of the people it was a mess to setup CF with multiple instances on one machine. There is a instance manager now which allows to duplicate complete CF installations.

by kai 02/09/2004

Yesterday cf-community.info went live. It’s basically a webforum about all aspects of ColdFusion and related topics and driven by Nils Bettinger, the owner of CFMX Ltd. – imho Germanys best CF hoster. The forum itself is in German and obviously not too crowded up to now, but that might change soon. Give it try, Germany […]

by kai 31/08/2004

Today I stumbled about an email in the German cfguru mailing list. Some swiss guys are on the way to release a CFML runtime compiler engine called Railo. The mailing lists postings state the it should be faster than CFMX and also Blue Dragon – but for the moment they didn’t implement all CFML tags […]

jessionid and server.id

by kai 24/08/2004

An interesting detail: if you’re dealing with ColdFusion clustering on J2EE servers, the file connector.properties in the …\servers\cfusion\SERVER-INF folder containts a property called server.id. This property stores the four first characters of the automatically created JESSIONID values for ColdFusions session handling. For example if the server.id is set to abcd, all your JESSIONIDs on that […]

CFCATCH and dynamic custom exception types

by kai 16/08/2004

By accident someone pointed my on an interesting behaviour of CFCATCH today. It doesn’t seem to be possible to store the names of your own custom exception types in variables and evaluate them in CFCATCH-statements. That’s not critical at all, because it was quite easy to work around it. I’m not sure what’s the reason […]

by kai 21/05/2004

Immer wieder eine gern erzählte Geschichte: Ben Forta zeigte auf der DevCon 2001 ein Feature des Pre-Pre-Pre ColdFusion MX (damals noch unter dem Namen Neo), das es ermöglichte, CFML-Anwendungen zu verteilen und zu deployen ohne den Quellcode mit auszuliefern. Heute morgen gab’s einen MacroChat zu Thema CF Blackstone mit Ben und da hat er genau […]

Eclipse und Macromedia-Stuff

by kai 20/05/2004

Von diversen neuen Versionen des CFEclipse-Plugins hört man ja immer wieder mal. Entweder hier bei mir, oder bei Philipp oder bei Dirk und Sven etc. Besonders interessant sind diverse Einträge bei Philipp, der sich Eclipse als netten und komfortablen Dreamweaver-Ersatz eingerichtet hat.
